COLD WEATHER OPERATION The waste gate controller will not respond quickly to variations in manifold pressure when oil temperature is near the lower limit of the green arc. Therefore, under these conditions, throttle motion should be made slowly and care should be exercised to prevent exceeding the 32” Hg manifold pressure limit.
